Mobis felt a headache.

After he lost his personal battle with Xingguang, many people were already dissatisfied with him. Although there were many outside defending Tianjian and despising Xingguang's unfair voices. However, these voices did not help to stabilize Mobis' position. Tianjian did not represent the poor masses in the south, but the wealthy class in the upper class. Because of this, Mobis was under great pressure after losing. Many wealthy merchants and nobles from the south sent people to express their dissatisfaction with him, either openly or secretly. These were the sponsors of the Tianjian Guild. In their opinion, no matter how Tianjian lost, it was lost. He spent so many days supporting the Tianjian Guild not to make him insulted and ridiculed in front of those Yankees. What's more, Xingguang is just a mercenary group that has only been established for half a year. Tianjian can even lose such things, and what else can they not do?

Mobis had even heard some vaguely. If his performance in the group battle could not satisfy these sponsors, they might even withdraw their funding, or find a new person who could prevent Tianjian from being eliminated by a damn mercenary group in the first round to be the president.

This is the sadness of the Mercenary Guild. They are powerful, but they need to be maintained with money. The Mercenary Guild, which has lost its autonomy, has been regarded as a private army of some interest groups to some extent. Although countries have specially limited the number of mercenary guilds to prevent this trend, this has become the weakness of the Mercenary Guild - the number of people limited by the rules is far less than the number used by the Mercenary Guild to maintain its sphere of influence. This forces the

It makes the mercenary guild unable to be self-sufficient. Therefore, it must rely on external forces and capital. In this way, they lack sufficient autonomy and vigor. A powerful mercenary guild president like Mobis is no exception. No matter how strong his personal strength is, it is worthless in front of money. Mercenary guilds like the four major guilds that have been rooted in the territory for many years have long been integrated with those forces, just like vines climbing on tree trunks. They are inseparable from them at all.

This is also the sorrow of the Mercenary Guild, and it is also the reason why Rhodes tried his best to avoid falling into it - he did not want him to live such a life that looked at people's eyes.

Isn’t it depressed to obey others? Isn’t it even more depressed to obey others with strong strength?

But it is not the headache for Mobis at the moment. Although the current situation is not very good for him, Mobis believes that it is not difficult to survive this crisis by relying on his leadership and influence in the guild. As long as the team can win, it will not be a problem...Mobis is still very confident about his team.

What gave him a headache was that Carlody was missing.

Although this old man was arrogant on weekdays, he still kept his promises very much. Mobis didn't know what Carlody came here for. As Rhodes guessed, he was only ordered by the southern nobles and wealthy merchants to accept the old man from the Council of Light to his mercenary group to carry out a "secret mission". As for what this mission was, Mobis was not qualified to ask.

Although Mobis is even stronger than Carlody by strength.

It's really bad to be humble in front of someone who is weaker than him. But at least both sides are considered "three rules". Mobis ignored Carlody's affairs, and except for Carlody's appearance during the game, he couldn't control what he wanted to do in the rest of the time.

But now, it is time for the group war to begin, and Carlody hasn't appeared yet?

Could something have happened to him?

Thinking of this, Mobis couldn't help feeling uneasy. He was born in a southern nobles, so he naturally knew the relationship between the nobles and wealthy merchants in the south and the Parliament of the Kingdom of Light. This Carlody was sent by the parliament. If something really happened to him... Thinking of this, Mobis couldn't help but shudder. He didn't know what Carlody was here for, but it was certainly not an easy thing. In fact, Mobis didn't want to accept this trouble. But as I said before, a mercenary guild that even the lifeline of the economy was controlled by others, even if your president was a legendary god, he could only bow his head in front of money...

So Mobis was always worried about what Carlody had to do. Now, the group battle was about to begin soon. They should have set off to the arena, but they did not see Carlody, which made Mobis very uneasy and worried. You should know that the other party was a spy in the Kingdom of Light, and now the Golden City is having a midsummer festival again... It's really damn. Those bastards who don't know anything except eating, sleeping, and playing and playing put people away. I'm going to carry the trouble. If Carlody fell into the hands of that damn tyrant, Lydia, could he and his subordinates still walk out of the Golden City alive?

When Mobis thought of this, he trembled all over. He suddenly felt that he had not much time to go to the red maple forest to admire the fallen leaves.........

"Yes, President!!"

Just as Mobis was restless, Golan ran into the room with breath, which made Old Mobis startled. He hurriedly stood up and pressed the hilt of his waist at the same time, staring out the window with vigilance - Damn, is my premonition really so accurate? The little girl sent someone to call the door?

But soon, Mobis discovered that although Golan's expression was a little surprised, he was not afraid or uneasy at all. Instead, he stood there with a puzzled look, which made Mobis realize that his performance was really strange. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and sat down again.

"What's wrong? What happened? Isn't it that you are so panicked, aren't you going to prepare for group battles?"

"I came for this matter, leader."

Golan wiped the beads of sweat from his face, and looked at Mobis with a slightly incredible expression.

"That's right, I. I just got news from the arena, there is no need to compare this battle. Because Xingguang... abstained!"

“Abstain?”

Hearing this sentence, Mobis opened his eyes wide in surprise and stared at Golan in disbelief. After a moment, he frowned.

"What you said is true? What's the reason? There's always a reason they quit the game."

"I have asked this...but according to them, it seems that someone on Starlight was injured after the individual battle yesterday, and today their number was not enough to participate in the competition. So... abstained."

"That's right..."

After hearing Golan's statement, Mobis lowered his head. What Golan said was not unreasonable. Everyone saw Anne's injury yesterday. But according to the rules, shouldn't the Starlight Mercenary Group have alternate members? Although the shield warrior girl was injured, wasn't the alternate just prepared for this? As for the others? Let's not talk about it for now. Where did Qi Lian and Marlene look a little injured?

What the hell is Starlight doing?

For a moment, even the scheming Mobis was a little confused about what Xingguang was doing. In the midsummer festival, abstaining from power would be ridiculed. Don’t they worry about the trouble they would cause them? After all, in the world of mercenaries, whether you fight or not is a matter of strength, but whether you dare to fight is a matter of courage. The former can be understood by others. But the latter will be ridiculed by others. The reason why Xingguang made this decision......... is really just because someone was injured? Or............

etc.

Thinking of this, Mobis was suddenly shocked.

Carlody did not come back, Starlight abstained... Could it be that Carlody went for Starlight?

But……… Starlight is just a small mercenary group. How can they be worth Carlody traveling thousands of miles from the Kingdom of Light to deal with them?

Mobis couldn't figure it out. But at this moment he was no longer as nervous as before, but even so, Mobis still raised his head, looked at Golan, and then gave an order.

"Go, you go and investigate. What exactly did Xingguang give up group battles? The more detailed the better!"

"Yes, sir."

Although he didn't know why Mobis gave this order, Golan nodded and turned around and left. Looking at Golan's departure back, Mobis sighed long, and then he leaned on the chair, feeling that he was really tired and helpless.

What's going on with this starlight?

There is a question, it is not just Mobis.

"Mr. Rod, why is this?"

At this moment, in the resident, Marlene also frowned with confusion and asked the same question to Rhode.

"Even if we are not strong enough, I think we can at least try it..."

"No, Marlene, this is not a matter of strength."

Rhode waved his hand and interrupted Marlene's words, which made Marlene open her eyes in surprise and stare at Rhode, not understanding what he actually means.

"First of all, our strength is not enough. We have only prepared for individual combat training before, but the team combat training has not been prepared. In this case, we will only give people a laughing stock when we are on the court in a hurry. Secondly... I don't want you to spend your energy in this irrelevant team battle. You know, our final opponent is very strong, and I don't want any accidents to happen before that. For us, nothing is more important and priority than winning the individual match, so I chose to give up the team battle."

Speaking of this, Rhode stretched out a finger. I wondered if it was an illusion, but Marin felt that she suddenly saw a very pleasant smile from her dark eyes.

"What's more, Miss Marin, don't forget that we still have companions. If we were allowed to finish the food alone, it would not be conducive to stability and unity."

"But……………"

Marlene is not a fool. As long as Rod reminds her, she immediately understood the reason, but...

"Mr. Rod, do you have that confidence in them? I'm not worried, if they fail your expectations..."

"You're wrong again, Marlene."

But this time, Marlene's words were interrupted by Rhode before he finished speaking. He waved his hand again and shrugged his shoulders casually.

"I don't have confidence in them, I have confidence in myself...... You will soon understand what I mean."
